A living trust is a trust that is created while you are alive, as
opposed to one that is created after your death. You place your assets
into a trust and you maintain complete control over your trust, and the
property you funded it with, until you die. At that time your appointed
successor trustee takes over and disperses the trust in accordance to
your instructions.

The main advantages to your heirs are that
the property in the trust should be reassigned outside of probate
court. If your holdings are large enough your heirs may avoid paying an
estate tax they other wise would have to pay. If your living trust is
funded with property outside of Louisiana it is possible for your
beneficiaries to avoid probate in various states.
